Lana Del Rey's 'Shades of Cool' Video is Heartbreakingly Lovely

Lana Del Rey's 'Shades of Cool' is the latest video and single from the glamorous singer's second studio album.

The video depicts a steamy Los Angeles romance between Rey and a ruggedly handsome older gentleman (played by Mark Mahoney, Rey's muse for her 'West Coast' video). Between the super-saturated color palette and the shimmery, holographic-like visuals of Rey, the video takes on an almost LA Confidential vibe. Unfortunately, it seems that Rey just can't catch a break; Mahoney drives off into the palm-tree lined sunset, leaving her to wallow in her heartbreak. She sings, "My baby lives in shades of cool/ Blue heart and hands and aptitude/ He lives for love, for women, too/ I'm one of many, one is blue."
